Dishonest choices. There is a difference between "racial" and "racist."

[QUOTE]
rac·ism /ˈreɪsɪzəm/ Show Spelled[rey-siz-uhm] Show IPA
noun
1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
[END QUOTE http://dictionary.reference.c... ]

Catering to ethnic communities is legitimate unless it involves value judgments based on ethnicity.

How can we start to let go of the problems that racism cause if people can't see that having things like 'black caucus' or colleges that are practically black only (FAMU), NAACP and others

Everybody wants to stop Racism so why do we have reverse racism. What would happen if white TV was on or if English speaking day was here. Stop all of it and really be equal.

Your wording is completely off.
People need to understand there's a difference between having pride in ones race and believing one race is superior.
I have NO ISSUE with Spanish stations, BET, NAACP etc, they're catering to their audience, base, people, they're not practicing racism.

Foolishness. You play what appeals to your broadcast demographic. You think KILI radio would be best served by having Polka tunes on Sunday afternoon?

They should play whatever their listeners like. If they want to hear polka, so be it.

You don't even believe the crap you just said!
If you believe having programming that caters to a group of people as racism, then you don't know the definition of racism, or you're playing games. Personally, I think you're playing games.

It's be nice but until we educate or out those people that are racist, it'll never end. There are many White stations, White holidays, etc.....Most people that think the mentioned organizations are racist don't understand much about racism or racist.

it's just a fact that his skin color didn't stop him from getting elected.That's all I'm saying. We do not live in a post racial society but we are getting there.

You're correct his "skin color didn't stop him from getting elected", but that same skin color has sure brought out the race hater from the hidey holes they've been in.

I guess we need to clarify just what your interpretation of a "racist" is? Having different ideological beliefs, disagreeing with an opposing opinion, defining a person not his ethinicity is not racist. Defining and then hating a persononly because of the color of his skin most certainly is.

that's not what I said, is it? I said I don't care how many people with one skin color voted for one or the other. If they are racists then they are racists.

I'm stating some Caucasian people voted the opposite for that very reason!
Thats what I'm responding to!
